I my family we used to make what we, sarcastically, call a Sunday Roast. It's a head of cauliflower bolied whole, put on a beautiful plate in the middle of the table with a big chefs knife and fork so everyone can cut a big chunk. Served with salad and all sorts of fixins, like hot sauce, hummus, bread, curry or just plain veg marg and sea salt (i like it best with just marg and salt).

Whatever's left is delicious in a salad the next day, with lots of vinaigrette.

The other night I boiled mine for about 3 minutes (blanched it? is that right?) and then mixed with with some olive oil, garlic, and a seasoning blend from Trader Joe's (everyday seasoning I think it's called), added some Daiya cheddar on top and baked it. It was very good, but if I wasn't starving at the time I was cooking, I would have made the cheezy sauce from Veganomicon. I was in a throwback kind of mood, and growing up there was always cheese sauce with broccoli or cauliflower. It's also lovely just roasted with the olive oil and seasoning. In Skinny bisque Everyday there's also a recipe for a curry cauliflower; I think it would be easy to find something similar on the internets.

I love this idea!

I've had Mashed Cauliflower (alt. to potatoes) but I haven't made it myself. I actually prefer it to mashed potatoes.

I think my fav way to eat cauliflower is raw...dipped in hummus or in a salad.

AFR also has a recipe for roasted cauliflower...you basically toss the cauliflower with seasoned breadcrumbs that have been moistened with olive oil, and roast in the oven. I like it with a squeeze of lemon after it comes out of the oven.

Popcorn cauliflower! Cut the florets small, toss them with olive oil, salt and some red pepper flakes. Bake them until they're browning a bit, and then put some breadcrumbs over top during the last bit of baking. It's so tasty!

Or similarly, Hungarians do a cauliflower casserole - basically just boiled cauliflower, a topping of bread crumbs mixed with oil or margarine, when the top has browned, take it out and serve with sour cream.

This. I thought I liked popcorn until I made it like this, and now it's all I can do to not make it like this all the time in the winter.

This is my default thing to do with cauliflower, minus the breadcrumbs. I never thought to add breadcrumbs, sounds delicious!
